*** WARNING! *** A new virus has been unleashed that is moredestructive than Melissa, more malevolent than Love, and moretenacious than a Jehovah's Witness!

The new virus was dubbed "Colonic" by the US Department ofComputer Security, which discovered the virus yesterdaymorning. "Colonic" attaches itself to Flash "SWF" files, andcan be spread from infected browsers to uninfected Flashsites in moments.

"Colonic" contains a hacker joke, called an "ASCII," thatsays "This virus comes from Microsoff!!" It is believed tohave originated in Islamabad, and may have been paid for byOsama bin Laden!

The virus does not do physical damage to the hard drive, butinfects the browser of the infected system. There, the viruslays dormant until another Flash page is loaded. From there,the virus flashes messages in white text, too fast for theeye to see, and subliminally affect the brain on asubconscious level. The messages include "Email me yourcredit cards," and "Microsoft is evil," and "Send yourfriends to infected pages." These subliminal messages causeyou to email your credit cards to the virus' creator, toblame Microsoft for the world's problems, and to send yourfriends to Flash pages infected with the virus.
